Overview
Broadly, our research falls into three main Research Disciplines and six Research Application Areas, as listed on the left. The three Research Disciplines are distinct areas of engineering and engineering science, in which fundamental knowledge and broadly applicable tools are developed. These fundamental concepts and tools are further developed and become practically relevant to society within the context of six Research Applications Areas.

Affiliated Research Centers
Mechanical engineering is a foundational field that is integral to many exciting interdisciplinary research programs. Consequently, many of our faculty members are associated with cross-disciplinary research centers throughout the university:
- Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR)
- Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics (CEAFM)
- Center for Advanced Metallic and Ceramic Systems (CAMCS)
- Center for Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology Seminars (CISST)
- Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT)
